Thursday 9th August
1st of Ramadhan
Quite pleasantly cool weather again, rode in the morning but not to the Fort as they only do 1 hour parade &
that from 6 - 7, requires some thinking as to how to plan. Its some years since I was here in Ramadhan.
Looked in on Bird for a few minutes & went to the customs where I spent a long time. Everything very
quiet. After lunch drove to Budega, took Mazooh Musa a bit off colour. A slack wind so took some time
crossing. Delightfully cool, had a long bathe in the sea & then in the spring & went early to bed sleeping
under the portico. The garden looks quite dried up.
Friday 10th August
At Jidda, wrote letters & bathed, a pleasant cool day, very little sun owing to mist.
On getting home heard on the wireless the news that Japan was asking for peace. Very sudden & to me
unexpected. I find it difficult to become very excited.
